Weight Watchers Make It in Minutes:
Easy Recipes in 15, 20, and 30 Minutes

International Weight Watchers has been about for a long time now and has proved itself to be a tremendously successful diet program which revolves around balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Different foods are assigned a points value and members then use a points calculator and a wide range of recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their home area to get advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes which accompany not just this but any diet program. There is also online support together with online menus and points calculators.

Additionally, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that can be bought at many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to foods according to the portion size, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. In general, foods which are high in fat will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on such things as his or her body weight and target weight.

The formula for calculating a points value is:

weight watchers formula

Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams

(Please note: in the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, if the actual figure is under 4 this figure is used, however, where the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here are just some examples of the points values given to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
